Album Cineromanzi Missionaries

A total of 37 issue of this series came out and was divided into two series. Non-progressive numbering.

Series I no. 1 (1947) no. 26 (1951)

Series II no. 1 (1952) no. 11 (1960)

This is series of albums, was called Heroes and Conquerors, which alternated between vertical (v) and horizontal (o) formats of sixteen self-covered pages in the first series (except for #12 and #13, contained 16 pages + cover) and with covers in the second series. They present adventure stories already published in the magazine Italian Missionaria. In some cases, the adventures are published first in the book and then in the magazine. The authors often use pseudonyms or contractions of their name, so Armino stands for Armando Talpone, an author, among other things, of most of the comic books and stories that complete the books, while the novelist Gaetano Bernardi is hidden under the Rusticus signature. The designer was Franco Donatelli who also signed Frank or Frank Donat, while the designer Alberto Mauri also signed Malbert. Texts were by Gastone Toschi and Jolanda Gianoli and drawings were by Giuseppe Cappadomia. In the appendix comedic stories were by Maggi. The covers were made by Armino, Renzo Maggi and Cecilio Manfredotti.

The series was published in 1947 and ended in 1960. It was published in Milan, Italy by Pontificio Istituto Missioni Estere.
